Daniella Atim is marking 5 years of single motherhood after divorcing the father of her children Joseph Mayanja aka Chameleon.
Highlighting her key milestones, the mother of five took to social media to look back at the harrowing experiences of her marriage that ultimately drove her away from the father of her children.
In an Instagram status, Atim revealed how she had endured a 16-years of Chameleon domestic violence.
Now living in Minnesota with all her children, Atim talked of her struggles as a single mother and her quest for a safer, happier and more fulfilling life.
“I moved to the US exactly five years ago and sought asylum from many things including domestic violence that I endured for 16 years,” she posted.
“I am a single mom raising my five kids on my own. Even though the age I am turning this year sounds too serious, I am choosing to relieve my early life while healing my nervous system. I am beautiful and i say no to domestic violence.” Atim said.
Now will Joseph Mayanja ever get love or a woman similar to Danielle Atim to marry again?
Atim disclosed last year that the primary reason for leaving Uganda to the United States was to escape the cycle of domestic violence she faced at the hands of Chameleon.
Their marriage, once celebrated in the public eye, faced numerous challenges, exacerbated by Chameleone’s excessive alcohol consumption. Atim recounted how Chameleone’s drinking habits often led him to come home in the early hours of the morning and incapable of caring for himself or their family.
Despite her pleas for him to change, especially for the sake of their children, her words fell on deaf ears, ultimately leading her to choose between her well-being and their tumultuous marriage.
Chameleone himself has opened up about the challenges of their long-distance marriage, stating that the decision for his family to relocate was made with their future in mind.
